Learning Solutions Conference & Expo 2015 - March 25, 2015

Manager, Instructional Design Pennsylvania College of Health Sciences

How do we guarantee that our learners are prepared to perform on
the job? Whether you are an instructional designer within an organization or a
contracted vendor, there is often a feeling of having little influence on the
learning continuum beyond the learner’s consumption of an eLearning module or
class session. Not being physically present with our audience, however, simply
means that we have to equip managers and others in the institution with the
tools and guidance they need to ensure new knowledge becomes job performance.

In this case-study session you will explore simulation as an
inexpensive and impactful extension of eLearning. You will discuss the benefits
of simulation, as well as practical considerations for building one. You will
examine cases that blend eLearning and live, performance-based simulation. You
will leave this session understanding how to add simulations to your eLearning
strategy.
